DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Children and Families


Proposed Information Collection Activity; Child Support Portal 
Registration (OMB No.: 0970-0370)

AGENCY: Office of Child Support Enforcement, Administration for 
Children and Families, Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE), Administration 
for Children and Families (ACF), is requesting the federal Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approve the ``Child Support Portal 
Registration,'' with revisions, for an additional three years. OCSE's 
Child Support Portal (``Portal'') contains applications to assist state 
child support agencies with administering their programs. Authorized 
Portal users must register with OCSE to access Portal applications and 
provide OCSE with certain preferences. The current OMB approval expires 
on February 28, 2022.

DATES: Comments due within 60 days of publication. In compliance with 
the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, ACF is 
soliciting public comment on the specific aspects of the information 
collection described above.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the proposed collection of information can be 
obtained and comments may be forwarded by emailing 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#a1c8cfc7cec2cecdcdc4c2d5c8cecfe1c0c2c78fc9c9d28fc6ced7"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="660f08000905090a0a0305120f090826070500480e0e1548010910">[email protected]</span></a>. Alternatively, copies can also be obtained 
by writing to the Administration for Children and Families, Office of 
Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), 330 C Street SW, Washington, 
DC 20201, Attn: ACF Reports Clearance Officer. All requests, emailed or 
written, should be identified by the title of the information 
collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Description: OCSE's Division of Federal Systems maintains the 
Portal, which contains various applications that authorized users may 
view, update, and upload or download information for child support 
purposes. OCSE creates secure profiles for authorized users for 
employers, insurers, and financial institutions based on information 
provided in the Employer Services and Insurance Match Debt Inquiry 
Portal Registration forms. OCSE added the electronic National Medical 
Support Notice (e-NMSN), the electronic Incoming Withholding Order (e-
IWO), and Multistate Financial Institution Data Match FAST Levy (MSFIDM 
FAST LEVY) Profile forms, which provide OCSE with information to set up 
the respective program user's process and capture preferences. State 
child support agencies manage and authenticate authorization for 
individual users via the state proxy server; therefore, a Portal 
Registration form is not required. State users must, however, provide 
OCSE with their respective Portal preferences.
    Respondents: Employers, Financial Institutions, Insurers, and State 
Child Support Agencies.
